A better looking Acura RL?
Here are some good pics of the Acura RL A-SPEC Concept from the show in Chicago...
We think it looks a lot better than the standard car.

Taek, V8's are torquey and easy to drive with better high speed acceleration and throttle response than an equivalent horsepower V6. Regardless of which engine this car has, my problem is it's pointed the wrong direction.... RWD for me please! Besides, for this price, it doesn’t take much more $$ to buy the fantastic (and quite frankly better) competition. One sausage, different lengths? That's because they all taste extraordinary, and why mess with near perfection?

Honda Racing, I do believe the Jag XJ220 still holds the record for the most powerful production V6 in the world. Regardless if the Acura’s AWD system is advanced or not, it says nothing about how affective or ill-affective it is. And we shant discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of AWD. I’d like to see where this car handily beat a 540 on a track, but more along the lines of what I was thinking is whether it would beat a 545, which I would be almost positive it couldn’t… As if I drive to work via the track that connects my house to my office anyway. Front engine, RWD may not be as efficient as FWD, but efficiency was just thrown out the window when we added power to all four wheels, wasn’t it? The simple fact is that as a car accelerates, it’s center of mass is pushed backwards towards the rear of the car and consequently it’s rear tires while simultaneously reducing the weight on the front. So clearly you gain, not lose traction under any acceleration. This action happens to also free up traction otherwise required for forward motion for use in lateral motion -reads: goodbye under steer.
